The Science Without Borders program aims to promote internationalization of Brazilian science through student and researcher exchanges. The program seeks to increase the number of Brazilian students and researchers studying and working at top international institutions, and to attract talented foreign researchers to collaborate with Brazilian institutions. The main goals are to expand scientific knowledge, enhance collaboration between academia and industry, and promote international scientific partnerships and publications. The program offers scholarships for undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as researchers, to study or conduct research abroad for periods ranging from 3 months to 2 years.
